Safari adventures in Botswana

Diego Delso Around the size of France and with a population of just under 2½ million, the largely flat-savannah Land of the Tswana is one of Africa’s premier wildlife destinations (and parenthetically, diamond producers): big game and only lightly touristed, with a “fewer people, more animals” tourism philosophy. I have fond memories of visiting its reknowned Okavango Delta on safari many years ago, but there are other aspects to the country very much noting as well: read post

Kariega Game Reserve: a South African recovery story

    It took us three days to drive from Cape Town along South Africa’s "Garden Route" to Kariega Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape, but it was well worth the drive. Once it was 27 farms, which have all been returned to the wild, and the reserve now covers 115 square kilometers (44½ sq. miles), owned and operated by two of those original farming families. A fictional British TV series, Wild at Heart, which ran from 2006 to 2012, told about much the same thing. The animals at Kariega were…

    Regrettably, we must add our voice to calls for a tourism boycott of Uganda, a country with much potential but which has let virulent bigotry - much of it from anti-gay hate groups in the U.S. - lead its parliament and president to enact a draconian and barbaric law imposing prison and in some cases even the death penalty for homosexual practices. This has no place in a civilized world, and visitors have many other options when it comes to African safaris, wildlife exploration (including gorillas) and local cultures So until this madness is stopped, please refrain from supporting it with your tourism business. Thank you. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/news/calls-for-a-tourist-boycott...
